#1 I come from a family that was very close. I had many vivid memories of learning to fit in wherever I was, which served me well in my future life as a musician. I remember nearly drowning in Egypt, and being pulled out by a man in a flowing blue cloak.

#2 My father was a wonderful, generous man who was taken from me too early. He was a gentleman and a dreamer, and I’ve done my best to live my life as he would have. I’m very lucky in this regard, because so many people go through life without a guide.

#3 I had severe dyslexia, which made it difficult for me to learn in school. My parents tried to help me, but I was too embarrassed to tell them that I was having problems. I developed the Blackboard Syndrome, which is a form of paralysis caused by the anxiety of performing something you don’t understand.

#4 I had a learning disability, which made school a struggle for me. I was too shy and too paralysed to raise my hand in class, so I would just stand there and say nothing. I eventually turned to playing drums, which was something I found myself doing naturally.

#1

I come from a family that was very close. I had many vivid memories of learning to fit in wherever I was, which served me well in my future life as a musician. I remember nearly drowning in Egypt, and being pulled out by a man in a flowing blue cloak.

#2

My father was a wonderful, generous man who was taken from me too early. He was a gentleman and a dreamer, and I’ve done my best to live my life as he would have. I’m very lucky in this regard, because so many people go through life without a guide.

#3

I had severe dyslexia, which made it difficult for me to learn in school. My parents tried to help me, but I was too embarrassed to tell them that I was having problems. I developed the Blackboard Syndrome, which is a form of paralysis caused by the anxiety of performing something you don’t understand.

#4

I had a learning disability, which made school a struggle for me. I was too shy and too paralysed to raise my hand in class, so I would just stand there and say nothing. I eventually turned to playing drums, which was something I found myself doing naturally.
